The Jersey Senator.

TRENTON. n. j., March 2,-As the con-
clusion Of the first Senatorial ballot, it
was evident the Republicans had con-
solidated on Democrat to defeat Albeit.
All of them except two voted for
Blodeett, making 80, and of the Demo-
Gratis three voted for him. The second
ballot was ordered amid mach excite
ment. Before the result was announc ed
an attempt was made TO stampede the
Republicans in body to General Sewell
in the hope of carrying enough Demo-
Gratis to elect him, but this failed, as the
Republicans feared Governor Albeit
would profit by it. In the confusion a
number Of changes were made, and the
vote as finally announced was: Blod-
gett, A; Albeit, "a; Il. +. Potter, l.
Blodgett was declared elected, amid wild
excitement.
Rufus Blodgett, the new senator, was
member of the lower house of the
New jersey legislature in 1879 and 1880.
He is identified with the interests OF
several railroad companies, and has al
ways been recognized as n staunch Dem
ocrat, In the assembly he was Demo.

and of commanding figure. He was for
several years member of the Demo.

superintendent of the New York < Long

Quantity of Wheat to the Acre.

Iii d. S. Curtis pamphlet on wheat
culture we find the following upon SOW
ing, and the quantity of wheat to the
acre: "As in many other farm matters,
there is diversity of opinion as to the
quantity of seed it is best to SOW, but
Judgment and circumstances must de-
termine the point in different situations.
Different preparations of both seed and
soil will render more or less seed neces-
slry. Climate and season haze much to
do with it; kind of soil and variety of
wheat also have bearing upon the
question. Wheats which tiller largely
like Clawson, Futz, Gold Medal. etc,
need less seed to the acre. Rich, fertile
soil requires less than poor land. A long
season and warm climate require less as
atlording better conditions for spreading
and growing. Fine, deep pulverization
of the soil, which gives heavier growth
to each plant, needs less seed, and well
cleaned, sound grain requires less seed
than otherwise. Then more seed is re.
quired when sown in the spring than in
the fall on the same land. Many circum-
stances enter into the determination of
the question, so that careful discretion
should be exercised by each grower for
his own special case. The manner of
planting, whether bv drill or broadcast,
and the style of drill used, make more
or less seed necessary, If the seed is
well screened and brined, with all light,
foul seed SKINNED off, of course less will
he necessary. From three to six pecks
per acre is about right as n general rule.
Broadcast sowing is hardly safe with
less than six pecks to the acre of good
seed, to secure full seeding to all parts Of
the ground as some spots will get too
much and some will not be covered
With drill planting the seed is more
evenly distributed and more completely
covered, with none too much in any one
place; hence less is needed. Some styles
of drills distribute the seed better than
others, some of them making four pecks
necessary, while with the others, three
pecks will be sufficient. If every kernel
were properly planted, and all perfectly
distributed and germlnated, even much
less than the above quantity would be
needed to fully seed the ground. Yet
if the planting be not done in the very
best manner, to secure the growth OF all
the seed, we would recommend too much
rather than too little-say six to eight
pccks to the acre,
